We are about to put a website online for an important customer but we want to monitor the bandwidth usage on a monthly basis and bill them accordingly.
Has anyone any ideas on how to do IP Traffic monitoring? We don't have access to the stats on our primary router (basically our upstream won't give us the data for some reason) so I just wanted to put some kind of packet counter in..
MRTG will let you know how much bandwidth is being used but can be a real pig to setup and you will have to configure SNMP on the customers box (or your router (yes I know the upstream won't give the stats)) anyway take a look at http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html
